About

Broad Oak ward lies in the northern part of South Ribble, primarily consisting of the residential area of Lostock Hall. The ward is bordered by the West Coast Main Line to the east and the A582 Lostock Lane to the south, providing clear transport links. Its housing is a mix of interwar semis-detached homes and more modern developments, creating a settled, suburban character. The area serves as a commuter base for both Preston and Leyland, with local amenities concentrated along the main thoroughfares.

The ward's central green space is Coote's Wood, a community woodland area with walking paths that offers a natural respite. To the north, the land opens into agricultural fields near Stanifield Lane, marking a transition to a more rural landscape. A notable local feature is the historic Lostock Hall Motive Power Depot, a former railway shed that remains a landmark, reflecting the area's strong industrial heritage tied to the railways. Daily life is centred around local schools, shops, and several social clubs.
